Just Like Magic

I never thought I’d feel like this again,

And yet…Nothing has changed~

For once again it is about your pain.

You asked me to forgive you and so I did.

For after all I said, we were “just kids.”

Forgiveness is such a simple word,

almost like a magical choice,

an eraser that removes the memories,

of all those times you raised your voice.

Or the silence of  a hundred nights,

from the aftermath of a thousand fights.

Just like magic and POUF it’s gone.

A simple act that rights all wrong.

I might have been able to forget but in the end,

You made it all about  you again.
